Space Baby Baby Bed Blocks

Raising one end of the bed or cot is a good way of making your baby more comfortable when she has a cold - almost everyone I know uses a stack of books under the legs. But I must admit that can leave big indentations in the book covers and also sticks out like a sore thumb in the well-designed nursery.

As soon as I saw these Baby Bed Blocks from Space Baby, I wanted to play with them. And that's their great selling point. If you're thinking, 'Well, why not just use a pile of books?', you might be won over by their secondary function as building blocks. The website has plenty of photos showing toddlers enjoying stacking them up, and I can see that their shape, colour and texture make them very inviting.
